An Old Ensemble & Live Tangles

A gift ensemble for my sister.

Look at this lizard ... I was looking at my photos from our trip across the Nhullabor in March this year and remembered how fast this little fellow was.   Look at the patterns on his back - wonderful aren't they.

Tangles

The front of my Tangle Album ... I need to seal it now as the white gel pen will rub off if I don't.

I like this random ribbony thing - now what can I call this ... any suggestions?

This one is last night's effort while watching Batman Returns ... well I was in the same room, not really watching.  The best batman is George Clooney IMHO!

This is one I did quite a few years ago now ... I like to draw a string on an A5 sheet of paper, then do my drawing, then cut it up.   My header picture is made up of a few of these drawings.

And, last but not least, another page in my ideas journal ... Mendhi anyone?   There are wonderful pattern ideas from many cultures - just think outside of the box and you will be surprised at what you can come up with.

Tangles & Ideas Journal

This is today's tangle - I call it Urchins because those little guys in the middle remind me of urchins.

I also thought I would show you my ideas journal.  It is a Moleskin drawing pad and I have divided the page up into 8 sections.   I keep a different idea in each section.  The book currently has hundreds of designs - both mine and those I have borrowed from others, but mostly mine.

As you can see, some are simple and others are a bit more complex.   It is a really good way to keep ideas and use those ideas for future drawings.  You can always find ways of adapting any idea into a pattern.
